Tyreek Hill may simply be on the Miami Dolphins’ commerce block.
That is proper, whereas the scenario stays firmly within the rumors stage, when the participant himself has probably commented on them, posting the peace signal on social media, all of it however definitely added some legitimacy to what has in any other case broadly been hypothesis.
Within the opinion of Sports activities Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the place there’s smoke, there ought to be hearth, as he needs nothing greater than to see the Dolphins make a transfer, as Hill’s one of many few gamers on the roster who might generate a reputable return.
“If I had been the Miami Dolphins, I’d take into consideration buying and selling Tyreek Hill. However earlier than we get to that, right here’s to Terron Armstead, who’s retiring after an illustrious 12-year profession… Armstead turns 34 this summer time. Earlier than hanging ’em up, he was one in every of six Dolphins making greater than $12 million per 12 months. Three extra—Hill (30), Jalen Ramsey (29), and Bradley Chubb (28)—might be 29 or older at the beginning of camp and have missed vital time over the previous two years. In the meantime, Tua Tagovailoa is now off his rookie contract, and there’s some cap debt to handle from the aggressive constructing over the following few years,” Breet wrote.
“Additionally, it’s laborious to think about both Ramsey or Chubb, when the time comes, will convey an enormous return to assist reset the staff’s roster. I consider Hill nonetheless can. What’s extra, you have got a younger participant at his place, 25-year-old star Jaylen Waddle, who can soften the blow of a possible departure.”

Would it not be laborious to say goodbye to Hill, as such a transfer would all however definitely make the Dolphins a worse staff? Positive, however Breer sees the writing on the wall and hopes Miami can land a comfortable rebuild earlier than issues fall off a cliff.
“Now, it could be painful, to make certain, to lose a man who’s meant a lot to how Mike McDaniel has constructed his program over the previous three years. However at this level, with Armstead gone and vital questions on the roster (fingers crossed for Miami on second-year man Patrick Paul at left deal with), the laborious query they should ask themselves is whether or not they can win a championship with the present group,” Breer wrote.
“If the reply is not any (and I’m not saying it’s), then it is smart for the Armstead determination to set off a plan for McDaniel and GM Chris Grier to rebuild round Tagovailoa on the fly. Getting a haul of picks for Hill can be a smart place to begin.”
Ought to the Dolphins commerce away Hill? Or have they but to satisfy their full potential on the NFL stage, with a Tremendous Bowl win nonetheless a risk if all the things comes collectively completely. Whereas it is laborious to say, Breer is betting on the previous, as no core of gamers on the NFL stage can final perpetually. Higher to commerce Hill now, Breer figures, than be caught with a number of huge contracts for declining gamers that may solely result in future firings.
